self portrait tuesday- fourteen

(click image to see clearer/enlarged)

I've now been without my camera for a couple of weeks but I found these photographs while packing and thought they'd work for this week's self portrait Tuesday. This is me at age fourteen. I've looked so much the same throughout my life but age fourteen was such an awkward age, as with most people! Behind that smile are braces. Notice the overalls and scrunchie! Too funny. :) My mom has a tradition with us that around age 13 or 14 she takes us for "glamour shots". The top photograph was from that.

I made this with last week's contribution to self portrait tuesday:

This was my first time playing with canvas paper and I'm in love!! :) It was such a fun base. I mostly used acrylic paints and rubber stamps. Alex told me that it's his favorite thing I've ever made and asked me if he could have it. He wants me to frame it for his office.
